9.4's with a light notch could be done with a 200-225 shot potentially. You could run a fogger or maybe just a big single jet. If you did the latter that's certainly the cheapest setup.
I think for 9's and 10's nitrous has the edge for cheap and simple, but 8's and quicker turbo has the lead for power production.

if you are gonna run the 8.5 stuff with us and want to spend little money then id build a nitrous car. A lot easier on that tire on a budget. But if you are gonna run the WCHRA you have to weigh 3100 lbs with a single kit smallblock so keep that in mind

I dont really plan to race the WCHRA circuit because of the weight limit and the rules about keeping a stock dash and all that. this is just more of a grudge car than anything. just something to make as light as possible and have some fun in. i plan to build something to race WCHRA but not anytime soon. how did u do in vegas?

We lost in the semi's in Vegas on the street tire. Made our best pass of the weekend but just didnt have enough to hold off a 5mph charge.
get your head out of the gutter. You know what I mean

On a small budget,small tire I agree, Nitrous is hard to beat. You have lots of cheap adjustablility with nitrous. Camscam is perfect example. Just a lil ole cam car with a plate. Work's wonders simply because of a good tuneup and well put together. No reason you couldnt get a little more aggressive and run a stout number.
If you need a hand getting an idea on the nitrous part of this. Shoot me a pm or give me a call.

Gotcha. Its a good time running heads up stuff if you want to put a little more money into it. But either way the 8.5 tire is fun and can handle a ton.

Maybe put some heads on it if money allows. Thats about it. But none of it may happen too. Never know with monies.

My last BBC had a 300 shot with factory crank and rods and factory main bolts and rod bolts, 2 bolt main and had some lower end forged pistons and head bolts....... no issues at all... it is all in the tune and watching the plugs.........
